The time of day when you personally would consistently show up will be YOUR best choice. That being said, what is your purpose? Referrals? Then BNI or a similar group is for you. Their sole purpose is to give and receive referrals. Civic organizations, like Rotary, are for doing good things in the community. And because you are working toward a common good, with like minded people, you naturally network, but it's much more subtle. Evening mixers with groups like the Chamber are the fun side, as most people are getting a little liquored up and that can certainly cement some long time relationships. So, again, I'd say whenever you are going to consistently show up, is the right time for you.
